2. A Few Good Men

A Few Good Menis Sorkin’s first play, which ran for nearly 500 performances on Broadway in 1989, became an Oscar-nominated film in 1992, and was re-conceived for a 2005 London revival. Originally inspired by true events (Sorkin’s sister served with the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps [JAG]), this taut, tense thriller erupts when two Marines are accused of the hazing death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay. This hard-hitting, suspenseful story puts the Marine code of honor on trial. The event is Mar 23-24. Location: Alley Theatre, 615 Texas Avenue, Houston, TX 77002. Adult Admission: $26.
